SOUTH AFRICAN SANCTIONS.

November 21, 1986

OTTAWA — SOUTH AFRICAN SANCTIONS. The federal government may make some of the voluntary sanctions against South Africa mandatory, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark says. He was angered by the decision of mining giant Falconbridge Ltd. to increase its investment in a South African platinum company while planning to lay off 478 miners in Canada by 1988. Falconbridge has since announced it will dispose of the South African interest at the earliest possible time.
